Cincinnati, Ohio. Thompson's Garage has recently agreed to take on this 1949 Mercury project car which the owner found in Indiana. The sign painted on the back says "Buzzards Roost or Bust 4-5-86". Looks like "BUST" is close to what happened.
The current plan is to turn it into a polished, chopped lead sled. Steve is a master with metal, but I'm thinking this job is going to test his skills and cost the owner a pretty chunk of change. I hope to be able to follow the progress and record the transformation.
Still can't believen it, but the yesterday post delivery confirmed. I gained 13 vintage Jim Thompson paperbacks. Still Smilling.
This was the second time I got to visit and photograph a ghost town in Thompson Springs, Utah. The sign is still there, so if you're in Utah go make the pilgramage to this living photography landmark.
This improved version of the Thompson M1A1 was handed out to Allied troops fighting the Nazi mutants of the Great Outbreak. It is more accurate, has a higher ammo capacity and fires higher calibre round than its predecessor.

Took a couple hundred mile drive yesterday and went over to Thompson Falls, Montana to see the Thompson River Dam...what a glorious place!! I just love driving Montana exploring all the sites around us...this is quite the popular river town!! Gonna get back over here this summer and maybe do alittle camping!!! :) Yippee ...lol This is one happening party town in the summer let me tell you!!! LOL..but I like it for photographs...not partying! lol
The dam in Thompson Falls, Montana is a seven-unit hydroelectric plant located on the Clark Fork River, with a total generating capacity of 94 megawatts. (Each megawatt satisfies the average energy needs of 750 households.)
The plant consists of a main dam and a dry-channel dam with an island in between. Both dams are used to regulate the reservoir, which has a storage capacity of 8,300 acre-feet, and control flow during high spring runoff. The main dam is 913 ft long and 32 ft high.
Thompson Falls is classified as a "run-of-river" project because it can generate electricity using the water that flows down the river, without the need to store additional water supplies.

Roland Thompson’s #Scania Topline pride & joy fully refurbished by #Keltruck
This remarkable vehicle is currently celebrating its 10th birthday having been registered in July 2006. Originally sold to present owner Roland Thompson by Keltruck in 2010 as a used vehicle, Roland has transformed this vehicle into how it looks today with the help of the Accident Repair Centre and paint facility at Keltruck Newark.
Phil Haywood, Depot Manager of Keltruck Newark talks us through how the vehicle became what it is today.
“The vehicle originally started life as a Judds Transport vehicle based in Devon. Once in Roland’s hands the modifications started.
“First of all was a roof mounted Kelsa top bar which was actually removed from his previous vehicle. The bar was blue and didn’t really match the vehicle but that didn’t stop Roland fitting it.
“Next was the stickers and company name which Roland designed. The rest has been improved over the years — replacement visor with additional LED lights, LED lights mounted in visor spots, name board light box, LED bumper mounted spots and fog, updated headlamps with LED day running lights, alloys all round and colour coded cat walks with chassis infill.”
In July this year Roland was going on to his annual holiday and decided to tidy up the cab paintwork. After speaking with close friend and Keltruck Newark’s Branch manager Philip Haywood it was agreed that the vehicle would be dropped off for the two week period to have front and rear discs and pads along with a few other mechanical items replaced. Regarding the paint work, this was left to the discretion of the branch manager, Phil, to decide with Roland’s parting words being “I’ll leave it with you just make it look nice. I trust you!”
“Not many customers would let you have free reign on their vehicle!”, comments Phil.
Once Roland saw the finished vehicle he was genuinely over the moon. Keltruck had colour coded his upper light bar to match the satin black on his name board, replaced the original grey colour on the front grills with gloss black and removed the satin black contrast tape from around the windows and this was also painted gloss black. To finish off we colour coded the mirrors, door handles and even the wiper arm. Last of all was a good old machine polish.
The Scania 470 horsepower, 12-litre six-cylinder Euro 3 engine in this vehicle was launched in 2001. The engine employed a new turbo and fuel technology. It was the first of the Scania engines at the time to be fitted with more modern high-pressure fuel injection system called Scania HPI which was developed and produced directly by Cummins following a project that was initiated in 1992. The engine featured a Scania in-house developed engine management system and ‘turbo-compounding’ which is an energy-recycling concept pioneered by Scania. The turbo-compound unit is essentially a second turbo that extracts residual energy from exhaust gas which is then recycled to the crankshaft thus boosting output and improving efficiency.
Roland has been an ‘owner driver’ since 1984, initially working mainly in the UK until 1988 when he purchased a second hand Scania 112 for work to and from the continent. Loyal to the Scania brand, Roland upgraded to a 144 in 2002 and then to the R470 that he runs today. Roland now works locally and his eye catching vehicle can be seen running around the Newark area on a daily basis.

Thompson School in Rockford. Rockford recently demolished a few under used schools. Walker, Thompson, Cherry Valley and White Swan.
While the weather didn't cooperate while in Valdez, it did a fine job on the trip down from Fairbanks.
These are taken from Thompson Pass, one of the snowiest places on earth averaging around 90 feet of snow per year.
I especially like the tracks of some fool who tried the snow drift across the small path on the right side of the photo. I wonder how long it took them to dig out.
No location for this one taken in the early 60's but memory seems to be saying somewhere near Gainsborough possible yes thanks to John)?
In view on a passenger service is the last built Thompson B1 61409.
The loco was new from Darlington Works in June 1950 and withdrawn in September 1963. Scrapping was at RS Kings in Norwich during Janaury 1964.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona and also one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum,” the arboretum is located on 392 acres along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain, on U.S. Highway 60, three miles west of Superior, Arizona.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park
Superior, Arizona
from Wikipedia: BTA is the largest and oldest botanical garden in the state of Arizona.
Because the BTA is a riparian zone, the park attracts Sonoran Desert wildlife and migrating birds. Visitors have seen bobcats, javelinas, coatimundis, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, hawks, hummingbirds, and vultures. 270 bird species have been spotted in the park and the Audubon Society has designated the Arboretum as an Important Bird Area.
